Win XP SP2 vs SP3

I am working on a Desktop Computer with AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+, 2.20 GHz and 768 MB Ram. I have 2 identical HDD SATA, each with 1 TB, on one of them WinXP SP2 in Englisch is installed. This version runs fine, no complaints. For some programmes, which require SP3, I purchased a German version and installed it on the second HDD. Whenever, the file manager has to run, the programme is extremely slow, stops or force me to shut it down. ACDSee cannot be used at all. What can be the reason?
 
is your system 64 bit or 32bit? xp 32bit needs sp3, 64 bit only goes to sp2, and your slowness is most likely due to the 768 or ram, that is not much.
 
This would have nothing to do with XP sp2 or sp3 . neither version should not exhibit this problem. Like she says 768mb is pretty low, I would add memory and after that check taskmgr or CTRL+ALT+DEL to see what is running that should not be and check other things like cpu / ram.
